King's Heights,
"Hey hey hey, it feels so small..."
A large circle of family members surrounded Rebecca, who was just born and was still a baby, making Cyrus nervous.
"All of you, Torre, get out of the way. Not everyone has the same gene as you... life factor mutation."
After waving his hand to make these burly men whose heights were 3-5 meters at every turn, retreat, Rossi returned the baby in his arms to Scarlett. Although there is a huge difference in height in this world, in infancy, everyone is of normal size.
Especially on the great route, the height of 1.8 meters is a third-level disability, which makes Rossi wonder if there is too much sunshine here, so that people's height can grow "freely".
"Okay, next is the gift everyone prepared—"
With that said, Rossi took out:
A bunch of shells!
"These shells record all kinds of music suitable for babies. Of course, if Cyrus and Scarlett want to record your own 'lullaby', you can also."
These 'sound shells' are a specialty of Sky Island, and they are also gifts that Rossi is going to give to Rebecca.
"Hey?"
Oni next to her looked shocked,
"I'm also going to give away shells, **** it, I was preempted by you..."
"Fufufu~~"
Dover smiled proudly, and when he raised his hand, a miniature pink feather trench coat appeared in his palm.
"I'm giving something unique in the world: a baby windbreaker made of thread, and the ordinary armed color is domineering!"
"...Thank you, thank you."
Regarding Dover's gift, Scarlett didn't even know what expression to use.
How could Rebecca, who was just born, need something like a 'windbreaker'? And even in the future... Scarlett feels tired when she thinks of her daughter wearing a pink trench coat and looking like a big sister.
Forget it, use it as a diaper.
"Woo ha ha, this is my gift!"
Torrebol took out a... golden pistol.
"Little Rebecca, in the future, if anyone is upset, use this weapon to shoot him a few times."
"Ahem, this gift is too—"
Cyrus coughed, and the character of the family members made him feel bad, and sure enough:
"I gave this to Rebecca,"
Gladius handed over the suspicious black oval object in his hand;
"And mine,"
Pica sent a pair of spiked gloves;
"Domineering Practice Experience"
Virgo sent the 'skill book' directly,
"How to Control a Man's Heart"
What Benisarna sent was also a 'skill book', but the content was very suspicious.
Immediately afterwards, "Machiavellianism", high-tech laser swords, deep sea pearls, ice dragon scales, six-style training manuals... were placed on the table in a mess.
"Ah... this... thank you all,"
Cyrus and his wife resisted the urge to roll their eyes. Except for Jorah who gave the book "Literacy for Infants and Toddlers with Pictures", which was normal, the others gave all kinds of strange gifts, and nine out of ten were related to battle.
Even a teething stick would be fine, at least it would be of some use.
"Well, that's the way the world is."
Rossi pushed these gifts before Cyrus to comfort him.
"Not having a sword in your hand and having a sword are two different things. Rebecca will use these things in the future. Only by mastering power can you master your own life."
"But, with my father—"
Facing Cyrus' rebuttal, Rossi shook his head.
"Do not,"
"One day you will be old, and it is impossible to expect you to protect her for a lifetime."
"Moreover, Rebecca will have her own life and adventures in the future, and she will always need the power to protect herself."

"Woohaha, that's right!"
Diamanti hugged Cyrus enthusiastically,
"Let me teach Rebecca swordsmanship, and I will definitely make her the number one swordsman in the family!"
"No, I will teach you if you want to teach!"
Looking at the two men arguing over who should teach Rebecca swordsmanship, Rosie rubbed his chin.
The future is completely changed by me,
In the original timeline, Diamanti shot and killed Scarlett, and he and Cyrus are real life and death enemies. Unexpectedly, because of Rossi's influence, they became good friends.
"By the way, Dover, Rosie."
Qiao La, who is in charge of children's education in the family and is also the principal of the 'New Baisha Orphanage', turned to ask.
"Run made a request to participate in the 'Bullfighting Arena'. I feel that the few with the best grades can already participate in low-intensity competitions for actual combat training."
"Oh, those brats are so strong?"
Torrebol was taken aback. You must know that those who dare to enter the bullfighting arena are at least at the level of Dressrosa soldiers. After all, swords and guns have no eyes, and if you have no strength, it is not impossible to be seriously injured or even die in a gladiatorial fight.
"Can,"
Rossi nodded and agreed. At that age, he and Dover had already started to fight against the sea merchants, pirates, and Jiedi family. But at that time, if you lost, you would end up living a life worse than death.
But now, as long as they don't die on the spot, they can be rescued with the medical ability of the Don Quixote family.
So let Luo and Run start practicing in the arena, there is no problem at all.
——
a few days later,
The bullfighting arena is full of seats!
Under normal circumstances, there would not be so many spectators here, because the bullfighting arena is open all day. For the residents of Dressrosa, they may not be strong enough, but they definitely do not lack 'eyesight'.
For most of the gladiatorial fights, they can already say "it's commonplace", and the audience can even analyze it with clarity as long as the people who participate in the gladiatorial fights are on the field.
Besides: Ordinary people still have their own lives. Adults need to work to support their families, and children also need to go to school and help the family with things. Unless they are the staff of the arena, who has time to watch the wrestling every day?
But today is different—
"Hurry up,"
"I took a good position early in the morning!"
"I heard that not only the cadres of the White Dragon Pirates will come to show their skills, but also the 'cadre candidates' will also end."
A large number of residents of Dressrosa flooded the arena, especially the front row of the auditorium: occupied by a large group of children, they have been very dissatisfied with those peers who were trained in the orphanage, thinking that the other party 'robbed' the their chance.
A chance to become an official of the Don Quixote family!
Just today, the cadres of the Don Quixote family and the two kings appeared in the arena for a long time, which made people in this country flock to it. Even if you don't watch the competition, it's good to have a look at the adults.
"This scene is really nostalgic."
Rossi, who was sitting on the rostrum, looked at the arena below, and remembered the way he had walked before. In many cases, he and Dover were fighting below, but now they dominate everything.
"Oh, oh, the first one to appear is a free gladiator: Mr. Old Sea Dog!"
This is a free gladiator with tall arms and long arms, holding a giant club. As for his name, maybe it was to hide his identity, maybe it was called 'Old Sea Dog', anyway, it was just a code name.
Most of the so-called "free gladiators" are pirates: because of the presence of the Don Quixote family, no pirate group dares to wander back in this sea area anymore.
Instead, a large number of pirates went to the 'Bullfighting Arena' to sign up as gladiators: According to the rules of the arena, gladiators enjoy 10% of the income of each competition, and the income is related to the number of spectators and the number of victories.
If you don't have an audience and you fail often, your revenue will be miserable.
As for getting extra money by beating whoever wins? It can only be said that a small gamble is pleasant, but a big gamble hurts the body. After all, swords have no eyes in the arena, and there are not many warriors who dare to "perform" with their lives.
Most of the time, they fight until blood flows into rivers.
As for the well-known strong players, the odds are naturally terrible.
This tall and long-armed pirate has already fought three times in the arena. Although his strength can only be said to be 'average', he is also average for the pirates in the new world. It is no problem at all to be rewarded with several million Baileys in the four seas.
Maybe he has a reward of several million on his back, otherwise he wouldn't have to bear the name of 'Old Sea Dog'.
"And his opponent is competing for the first time: Trafalgar Law!"
"Ro, come on!"
"Luo Jun, I wish Wu Yun prosperity..."
"If you lose, be careful and I will beat you to the ground—"
Amidst the sound of "come on" from a group of friends in the stands, Luo, who was wearing a spotted hat, had already entered the arena from the other side, holding a short knife that was only as long as his arm. Compared with the giant wooden stick of the strong man on the opposite side, it looked very Petite.
"Who do you think will win?"
Facing the question of Dover tilting his head next to him, Rossi answered without hesitation:
"Ro,"

PS: Watching the World Cup these days... can only be said to be upset again and again.
Japan, which beat Germany, lost to Costa Rica. Who dares to believe it? Fortunately, I bought a few hundred yuan casually, otherwise I would really go to the rooftop. Let's adjust the mentality code tomorrow~~
